The previously used discrete element model was expanded later to include cohesive and frictional forces to characterize the behavior of cohesive systems. The model system used in the remaining ...

Blast furnaces play a pivotal role in modern metallurgy, where the uniform distribution of burden (the mix of coke, pellets, sinter and other raw materials) directly influences the efficiency and ...

Verifying equipment design to improve performance and reduce production risks. Analyzing the flow of particles to optimize the performance of bulk solids handling and processing equipment. Altair’s ...

In this paper, some discrete-time finite element methods for nonlinear hyperbolic equations are derived and their theoretical analysis is given. The stability and the convergence of the finite element ...

Two discrete functional analysis tools are established for spaces of piecewise polynomial functions on general meshes: (i) a discrete counterpart of the continuous Sobolev embeddings, in both ...
